I made the best salad yesterday and could not wait to share it with you. ?This recipe comes from my friend and new IIN student, Kathi! ?Kathi blogs at Kath Eats Vegan. ? Thank you for sending this to me Kathi, it is "the best" salad.
So to be fair, Whole Foods will have to get some of the credit for this recipe. ?Kathi sent me the link from their website but this Kale Waldorf Salad is so good that it must be shared with everyone.

So while I was perusing the aisles of Whole Foods this book caught my eye. ?Kathy Freston is the author of Veganist. ?I have heard great things about Kathy's approach and am thinking about giving one of her books a read. ?I love her definition of a Veganist:
Someone who moves toward eating a plant based diet so that they are as physically healthy as they can be, environmentally friendly, and a kind and thoughtful human being. ?And it?s not about being pure or strict; it?s about being informed and having fun?while living according to values like kindness and thoughtfulness. ?Truly, I believe in progress, not perfection!
This hits home for me, and of course the line about not being strict and pure helps!
I am always researching new dietary theories and I might just have to pick up a copy of The Lean and check it out. ?Have any of you read this yet??
